Use your computer keyboard to recreate beats from Kanye, J Dilla & 9th Wonder.





Matt Daniels is a hip hop head and programmer who brought you "The Largest Vocabulary in Hip Hop".  He is recently released "SampleStich" which utilizes your computers keyboard to re-create beats from Kanye West, J Dilla and 9th Wonder. 






I’ve been re-constructing hip hop songs from their original samples, and every time I’ve been fascinated by the producer’s choices.

Before we take a look at each sample, you might have noticed how weird it is to compose with milliseconds of a song. Producers are studying these moments for hours. They understand the minutia – the exact note at the exact millisecond that creates an interesting beat.

I wish that more people understood this process and gift, so I’ve re-created the process of chopping up a sample, just as a producer would. Note: I'm providing these samples to you on a platter. This is no way acocunts for the hours/days spent crate-digging. - Matt Daniels
